My son and I still talk about this incident. I hope this will brighten your day.
One morning, when Baby (tiel) was about 4 months old, I had gone to the living room, pulled open the curtains @ the picture window. Their cages sat at that time catty corner from the window. Said my good mornings to Baby & Tweeder, and then went to get my shower.
Next thing I hear is Baby who lets out this blood curdling scream, and then you can hear him drop to the bottom of the cage like whop! Everyone in the house came running (me in my nightgown), and I was the first on the scene.
Sitting in the picture window, is this HUGE black cat. I am not exaggerating, this cat weighs around 25-30 lbs. I go running out the front door, yelling at him to get away. (with my husband & son yelling at me, to put some cloths on).
In the meantime, Baby was in the bottom of his cage shaking. My husband missed the cat, and was like what the !@!@$#$% is wrong with him, and why are you running outside yelling, half dressed?
So here I am trying to explain… how would you feel… if you were minding your own business… in your bedroom and turned around… and there was this “Black Monster” that is probably 1000 times your size, staring at you, eye to eye. There was probably a whole 18” between the cage and the window. The way the cat was sitting on the ledge, Baby was eye to eye with this black monster.
My husband just didn’t get it. Since we had 4 dogs at the time. But the only one who was tall enough for Baby to see was the Irish Setter. We had 3 mini doxies back then. Even so, the Setter was never eye to eye with Baby….dah…
Being as laid back as he is, Baby recovered quite quickly, probably more quickly than I did, since I had thought he’d had a stroke when I heard the whop….and in the meantime, had just about given me one.
In the meantime, given the time of morning that it was, I am sure that the neighbors got a good show, and are still probably wondering, if I am some kind of lunatic, running around half dressed yelling at the top of my lungs to get out, go away, and of course they probably never saw the Black Monster……
Hope this brightens someones day....AR
